[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1029207, member: 7261"] I know it is fun to play the "who will we draft" game, but what the Packers do in the draft, will depend a lot on what they do in Free Agency. Personally, I like Nubin, but he is a Safety. Safety is one of the lowest paid positions in the NFL. Last year the average pay for a safety was $2,196,749. Compare that to a LT, where the ave. pay was $8,952,680. A player selected around 25th is going to cost the Packers around $3.4M/year on his rookie deal. Throw in the 5th year option and you start to see the value of getting a starting Tackle over a starting safety (on a rookie deal). That said, if Gute strikes out in the Free Agent market and doesn't land 1-2 quality safeties, than I absolutely think you start looking at the position with your first pick. Or if a Safety that they had really high on their board (top 15) drops to them. However, all things equal, I will take a Tackle at #25, if he is considered to be equal to a Safety in grade. [/QUOTE]
